Setup guide

A step by step guide explaining how to setup your Bitaxe and join the SR mining pool.

Unbox and Verify Components

Your package includes the pre-assembled Bitaxe miner, case, power adapter, Noctua fan, and exclusive Satoshi Radio Mining pin. Verify all components are present and ensure the fan is properly connected to the miner.

Connect to Bitaxe WiFi

Connect the Bitaxe miner to a power outlet using the provided adapter.
Look for a WiFi network named "Bitaxe_XXXX" (where XXXX is a four-digit number). Connect to this network using your laptop or phone. A popup with a browser screen will appear, showing the Bitaxe dashboard.

Access Bitaxe Dashboard and Update Firmware

After restart, check the IP address displayed on the Bitaxe's screen. Navigate to this IP address using your laptop or phone browser. Go to settings in the dashboard. Scroll down to "Latest Firmware" and click on "esp-miner.bin". A download will start.

After downloading, click on "Browse" under "Update Firmware". Select the downloaded file. Wait for the update to complete, then restart the miner (either by unplugging or using the soft restart option).

Configure Mining Pool Settings

In the dashboard menu, click on settings. Fill in the following: Stratum URL (pool.satoshiradio.nl), Stratum Port (3333), Stratum User (your wallet address.worker name). For example: bc1***************.bitaxe. Enter the password in the Stratum Password field. There are no requirements. For example: 'X'.

It's crucial to use a wallet address you own and control. Use a hardware wallet or at least save the seed words securely. Click save, then click restart.

Start Mining

The Bitaxe should now start mining automatically. Check the dashboard: it should reach a hashrate of 550-650 GH/s.
